A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
Ambiguity is contrary to truthfulness.
0:13
Ambiguity and a lack of clarity in dealings between Muslims
0:17
Ultimately leads to straying from the truth and falling into outright lying.
0:23
This, in turn, causes division and the loss of peace of heart.
0:28
And it strips the blessing from the one who deals with ambiguity.
0:32
As the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:34
"The two parties to a transaction have the option [to rescind] as long as they have not separated,"
0:38
Or he said, "until they separate."
0:42
"If they are truthful and disclose [the details],
0:44
Their transaction will be blessed.
0:47
But if they conceal and lie,
0:49
The blessing of their transaction will be wiped out."
0:52
Agreed upon.
0:54
This principle, as it applies to sales,
0:56
Also extends to all other areas of interaction,
1:00
Including partnerships, leasing, and marriage,
1:03
And everything else of that nature.
1:05
In any collaborative effort,
1:08
Whether worldly or religious,
1:11
There must be truthfulness and clarity
1:13
When dealing with others.
1:15
Otherwise,
1:17
Whoever wishes to conceal something
1:19
Should not engage with others
1:21
Regarding that matter.
1:23
Let him keep it to himself
1:25
Instead of deceiving them and lying to them.
1:28
Furthermore, it is necessary
1:30
Not to disclose the secrets of the Muslims to enemies among the disbelievers and hypocrites
1:33
Under the pretext of being truthful.
1:35
[Truthfulness is not a justification for such disclosure.]
